The possible championship lead will still be missed. Due to the slightly worse goal difference and Manchester City’s 2-1 win against Brighton, the Gunners do not climb to first place despite having the same number of points (21 points). Tottenham can still regain the top of the table against Fulham on Monday evening.

DFB star Kai Havertz (24) sits on the bench for 78 minutes against his former club. In the 1-0 win against league leaders Manchester City, the offensive player (previously in the starting line-up five times), who had changed the London city colors for 75 million in the summer, only came into the game in the final phase.

Wild opening phase in England’s capital!

Havertz sees the first excitement after just a few minutes. After a cross from the left, Arsenal defender William Saliba heads the ball onto his outstretched arm. Penalty?

The VAR intervenes immediately and sends the referee to the monitor. He looks at the scene and decides on a penalty.

Things get strange before the penalty. Raheem Sterling is discussing with his colleagues and probably wants to take the penalty himself. But Enzo Fernández has a different opinion and would like to give the ball to England U21 international Coe Palmer. Fernández prevails – Palmer shoots!

Because young professional Palmer, who came from Manchester City in the summer for 47 million euros, pushes the ball into the left corner, the little dispute is quickly forgotten. 1-0 for the Blues (15th).

After taking the lead, Arsenal have more of the game, but the Blues are lurking, aggressive in the duels and, above all, stable at the back. Apart from a half-chance from Declan Rice, the Gunners don’t do much up front.

On the other hand, goalscorer Palmer narrowly missed making it 2-0 (30th).

Mudryk-Bogenlampe

The second half starts with a goal and a lot of chance! Chelsea professional Mykhaylo Mudryk makes it 2-0 with an unsuccessful cross. The ball, which was intended as a pass, becomes longer and longer and ends up hitting the goal.

A few minutes later, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya almost made it 3-0 with a mega shot. He puts the ball directly at Palmer’s feet, but is able to correct his mistake at the last moment (58th).

On the other hand, Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez rushes into Gabriel Jesus after a corner (60th). The Gunners immediately demand a penalty, but the game continues.

Double whammy out of nowhere

Things get exciting again in the final phase. Sanchez and Gallagher with a big misunderstanding. Declan Rice wins the ball and shoots the ball into the empty goal. Follow-up goal – only 2:1 (77th).

Then Kai Havertz can also take part. He came on as a substitute twelve minutes before the end – and initiated the turnaround.

After a perfect cross from Saka, Leandro Trossard runs in perfectly at the second post and nets from close range to equalize (84th).

In the end, Arsenal remain unbeaten in their ninth league game, but still have to hand over the lead to the Skyblues.

Manchester City – Brighton & Hove Albion 2:1 (2:0)

Manchester City beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 in the league on Saturday afternoon – and are top of the English league again.

Confusing action! Suddenly the referee shows a new card

Most recently, coach Pep Guardiola’s (52) team suffered two defeats in a row against Wolverhampton and Arsenal. There is no sign of uncertainty in the home game against Brighton! The Skyblues get off to a good start.

First, Jérémy Doku flicks the ball slightly past the goal after a nice pass from Phil Foden (5th). Then seconds later he gives up the lead.

7th minute: The Belgian Doku, who came from Stade Rennes for 60 million euros in the summer, moves into the penalty area and serves world champion Julián Álvarez beautifully in the middle. Although this does not hit the ball correctly, the ball still ends up in the net. 1-0 for City! The fourth goal in the ninth game of the season for the Argentine.

The early goal seems like a relief for the Pep team – because the reigning English champions create one chance after another, also because Brighton leaves far too much space, especially on the left. Ex-City and Liverpool star James Millner can’t get the documentary under control at all.

The Haaland redemption

And then Manchester City also has ex-BVB star Erling Haaland (23), who can overcome his goal drought. From around 18 meters he makes it 2-0 for City with a left-foot shot and his ninth goal in the ninth league game (19th).

▶ After 256 minutes without a goal, the Norwegian scores again. His last goal for City came in a 2-0 win against Nottingham at the end of September.

Shortly after the start of the second half, the Premier League announced sad news at around 5 p.m. (German time): England’s football legend Sir Bobby Charlton is dead.

In the final phase, tension arises again with Brighton’s goal on the field. City defender Akanji cannot clear the ball properly. Brighton attacker Ansu Fati is there and makes it 2-1 (73).

In stoppage time, Akanji received a yellow-red card and had to go down. City trembles its way to victory.

After two defeats against Wolverhampton (1:2) and Arsenal FC (0:1), last season’s treble winners are back again, jumping to the top of the table with 21 points due to the better goal difference.
